Election Procedures for the 2013-2014 School Year Executive Board

The aspects you can focus on include, but are not limited to:

Education necessary,

Topics related to the career,

Experiences of people in the field,

etc.  

 

You are allowed to have a visual aid/notecards, but in order to streamline the transitions between presenters, you will not be able to use the projector for PowerPoints, Prezis, etc.
